effect on the appointment and qualification
! of his successor This action is taken in or
| der to allow Mr. Manning to accept the
| presidency of the Western National Bank
| Of the city of New York. His letter of res
| ignation will not be made public for some

| tinue to act ms secretary for several weeks
